Friday Femmes Fatales No 34

Ten new (to me) female bloggers, ten top posts, on my way to 400. It answers the question: where are all the female bloggers?

For all of us northern hemisphere bloggers, winter is definitely here, but few can have captured it as beautifully as Meanwhile Here in France. (Likely to be slow-loading on dial-up.) "An Aussie lass" in Paris is meanwhile contemplating her first European winter and hoping for snow. (Know the feeling; I still get a thrill.)

Helen, a harpist, is meanwhile entrenched in deepest North Norfolk, but has found some some historic reading material. Not sure about a half bottle of champagne being enough for a romantic evening ...

I can't imagine how I've missed this blog for so long, but (Another) 52 Books started out posting one review a week for a year, and is now continuing. This week she has a book about a naked elf - and it's apparently not bad. (Going to have to read it just for novelty value!)

Then serving up some not-so-humble pie, Christine C on PopPolitics is reporting on how it offers an insight into character. (Go up this blog a little and you'll also find her outline of next year's Women, Action and Media Conference (in the US).

Blogs on which I post

My favourite charity is
Ethiopiaid, particularly for its work in supporting the Addis Ababa
Fistula Hospital. They say £100 pays for an operation that usually restores
the health of a woman whose body has been almost destroyed by childbirth. I
doubt many charities do more with your cash.
